To the best of my recollection, and Wallace can confirm the dates, my parents had an Oregon Junco at their feeders in Bluff City in 1972 and 73. I think it repeated in back to back years. I was in high school and folks came from all over the state to see it. Of course back then, it was a species unto itself and a life/state bird for lots of folks.
